Plant temperature is more important than ambient temperature. If plant temperature gets too high, the Maxi Controller will dim the lights to keep the stomata open. When there is a water shortage, the lights dim to protect crops. This camera tracks the VPD in the air for a safer environment for your plants.
What is Vapor Pressure Deficit
Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) quantifies the variance between the current moisture content in the air and the maximum moisture it could retain at full saturation. While relative humidity measures moisture as a percentage in the air, VPD evaluates the actual difference in moisture levels.
Why is Vapor Pressure Dificit important to track
VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) indicates the degree of dryness or humidity in the air relative to the temperature. This factor is pivotal in agriculture as it directly influences the rate of water loss in plants. Water loss primarily occurs through the tiny pores present on the leaves of plants.
